Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While psychological research involving animals must minimize distress and ensure appropriate care, animals may be exposed to painful stimuli under certain circumstances if it is justified by the research question and designed to minimize the animal's discomfort. However, the researchers must ensure that the pain is minimized as much as possible and that animals are provided with appropriate pain relief or euthanized if necessary.
